The Great Beyond

by R.E.M.

(Buck/Mills/Stipe)

From the soundtrack "Man On the Moon"

transcribed by Beatles68@aol.com

Note: The studio recording is played a half-step higher, so to play

along with it, use a capo at the first fret.

Please email me if you find anything inaccurate!

I´ve watched the stars fall silent

from your eyes

All the sights that I have seen

I can´t believe that I

believed I wished that you could see

There´s a new planet in the solar system

There is nothing up my sleeve

I´m pushing an elephant up the stairs

I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there

Over my shoulder a piano falls

Crashing to the ground

And all this talk of time

Talk is fine

And I don´t want to stay around

Why can´t we pantomime, just

close our eyes and sleep sweet dreams

Being here with wings on our feet

I´m pushing an elephant up the stairs

I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there

Over my shoulder a piano falls

Crashing to the ground

I´m breaking through I´m bending spoons

C G (hold) Am

I´m keeping flowers in full bloom

I´m looking for answers from the great beyond

I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears

Sweetest dreams of you

Look into the stars

Look into the moon

I´m pushing an elephant up the stairs

I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there

Over my shoulder a piano falls

Crashing to the ground

I´m breaking through I´m bending spoons

C G (hold) Am

I´m keeping flowers in full bloom

I´m looking for answers from the great beyond

I´m breaking through I´m bending spoons

C G (hold) Am

I´m keeping flowers in full bloom

I´m looking for answers from the great

Answers from the great, answers

I´m breaking through I´m bending spoons

C G (hold) Am

I´m keeping flowers in full bloom

I´m looking for answers from the great beyond

I´m breaking through I´m bending spoons

C G (hold) Am

I´m keeping flowers in full bloom

(Here's a little agit for the never believer)

I´m looking for answers from the great

(Here's a little ghost for the offering)

Answers from the great, answers

REM- Bad Day--best video ever!

Intro, played throughout verses

VERSE:

A public service announcement followed me home the other day.

I paid it nevermind. Go Away.

Shits so thick you could stir it with a stick-free Teflon whitewashed presidency.

We're sick of being jerked around, wear that on your sleeve.

BRIDGE:

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord, count your blessings.

We're sick of being jerked around we all fall down.

VERSE:

Have you ever seen the televised St. vitus subcommittee prize

Investigation dance? Those ants in pants glances.

Well,look behind the eyes. It's a hallowed hollow anesthetized

"save my own ass, screw these guys" smoke and mirror lock down.

BRIDGE:

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord, count your blessings.

The Papers wouldn't lie! I sigh, Not one more.

CHORUS: (x2)

It's been a bad day.

Please don't take a picture.

It's been a bad day.

Please.

VERSE:

We're dug in deep the price is steep. The auctioneer is such a creep.

The lights went out, the oil ran dry we blamed it on the other guy.

Sure, all men are created equal. Heres the church, heres the steeple.

Please stay tuned-we cut to sequel. Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.

BRIDGE:

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord, count your blessings.

Ignore the law of fear. Ugh, this means war.

CHORUS:

It's been a bad day.

Please don't take a picture.

It's been a bad day.

Please.

BRIDGE:

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord, count your blessings.

We're sick of being jerked around we all fall down.

CHORUS: (PLAY UNTIL END)

It's been a bad day.

Please don't take a picture.

It's been a bad day.

Please.

R.E.M. – What’s The Frequency, Kenneth?

INTRO

VERSE 1

“What’s the frequency, Kenneth?” Is your Benzedrine, uh-huh.

I was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed.

I thought I pegged you an idiot’s dream.

Tunnel vision from the insider’s screen.

I never understood the frequency, uh-huh.

You wore our expectations like an armoured suit, uh-huh.

VERSE 2

I’d studied you’re cartoons, radio, music, TV, movies, magazines.

Richard said, “withdraw in disgust is not the same as apathy.”

A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth.

You said that irony was the shackles of youth.

You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh.

I never understood the frequency, uh-huh.

VERSE 3

“What’s the frequency, Kenneth?” Is your Benzedrine, uh-huh.

Butterfly decal, rear-view mirror, dogging the scene.

You smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth.

You said that irony was the shackles of youth.

You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh.

I never understood the frequency, uh-huh.

You wore our expectations like an armoured suit, uh-huh.

VERSE 4

I couldn’t understand.

You said that irony was the shackled of youth, uh-huh.

I couldn’t understand.

You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh.

I couldn’t understand.

I never understood, don’t fuck with me, uh-huh.

Hello everyone and welcome to my endevour to keep myself sane. I'm going to submit a set

of chords to UG for a great song once or twice a week in an effort to stop myself dying

of boredom during these exam thingys. I've been playing these chords for as long as I've

played guitar (two years...) and so I know for a fact they're accurate.

<B>[VERSE 1]

<!--B>

Oh, life is bigger

It's bigger than you

And you are not me.

The lengths that I will go to,

The distance in your eyes,

Oh no, I've said too much,

I set it up.

<B>[CHORUS]

<!--B>

That's me in the corner,

That's me in the spotlight

Losing my religion.

Trying to keep up with you.

And I don't know if I can do it.

Oh no, I've said too much,

I haven't said enough.

<B>[BRIDGE]

<!--B>

I thought that I heard you laughing,

I thought that I heard you sing.

I think I thought I saw you try.

<B>[VERSE 2]

<!--B>

Every Whisper of every waking hour

I'm choosing my confessions,

Trying to keep an eye of you

Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool

Oh no, I've said too much,

I set it up.

<B>[VERSE 3]

<!--B>

Consider this, consider this,

The hint of a century,

Consider this: the slip

That brought me to my knees failed.

What if all these fantasies

Come flailing around?

Now I've said too much.

<B>[BRIDGE]

<!--B>

I thought that I heard you laughing,

I thought that I heard you sing.

I think I thought I saw you try.

<B>[LINK]

<!--B>

Here you can play the mandolin fill or just the chords.

But that was just a dream,

That was just a dream.

<B>[CHORUS]

<!--B>

That's me in the corner,

That's me in the spotlight

Losing my religion.

Trying to keep up with you.

And I don't know if I can do it.

Oh no, I've said too much,

I haven't said enough.

<B>[BRIDGE]

<!--B>

I thought that I heard you laughing,

I thought that I heard you sing.

I think I thought I saw you try.

But that was just a dream,

Try, cry, why, try.

That was just a dream, just a dream, just a dream, dream.

Look up, what do you see?

All of you and all of me

Fluorescent and starry

Some of them, they surprise

The bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 a.m.

This letter

Fields of poppies, little pearls

All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed

Each and every one a little scary

I said your name

I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars

Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras

Dreaming of Maria Callas

Whoever she is

This fame thing, I don't get it

I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it

Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves

I can take you far

This star thing, I don't get it

CHORUS

I'll take you over, there

Aluminum, tastes like fear

Adrenaline, it pulls us near

The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight

Intro, same as chorus:

D////G//C//Am/

D////G//C//Am/

D////G//C//Am/

The transition to the verses:

Verse 1:

(* For all the verses, the F's, C's, and Am's are played as barre

chords, the F's in A formation, the C's and Am's in E form. He

upstrokes them in pairs, on what sounds like a big hollowbody electric.

The placement of the chords over the words here is inteneded only to

to denote their *approximate* temporal location. Listen to the song

and you'll be able to hear and feel where they actually go.*)

This here is the place where I will be stayin'

There isn't a number you can call on the payphone, let it ring a long,long,

long, long time

If I don't pick up, hang up, call back let it ring some more

[Untranscribable Stipe yodel]

If I don't pick up, pick up, the sidewinder sleep, sleep, sleeps in a coil

C Em (*play as noted above for transition*)

Verse 2:

There's scratches all around the coinslot, like a heartbeat baby, tryin' to

wake up

But this machine can only swallow money, you can't lay a patch by computer

design

With just alot of stupid, stupid signs

["Tell her" yodeled]

Tell her she can kiss my ass and say that you were

Only kidding, that way she'll know that it's really, really, really,

really me

Chorus 2: (*Same as chorus one, including transition*)

Verse 3: (*Short verse*)

Baby eat some soup, does it really grab me today I need something more

sub-stub-sub-substantial

A can of beans, some black eyed peas, some Nescafe and ice

A candy bar, a fall(*en/in'*) star, or a reading from Doctor Seuss

Chorus 3:

D////G//C//Am/

D////G//C//Am/

D////G//C//Am/

C Em (*Same as above*)

Bridge:

(*During the bridge, Am and Bm are played as A barres, and the picking

pattern is like this:

The C below is picked in the same pattern, i.e. A str, D str, e str, B str*)

The cat in the hat came back, and wrecked alot of havoc

On the way, always had a smile and a reason to pretend

That their world, was flat back brown, too little, need to sleep but to dream

The sidewinder sleeps on his back

Chorus 3 and outro:

(*The chorus is the same*)

D////G//C//Am/

Chorus:

Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her

Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her

Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her

====== Rem - Stand ======

=======================

Stand in the place where you live

Now face north

Think about direction

Wonder why you haven't before

Now stand in the place where you work

Now face west

Think about the place where you live

Wonder why you haven't before

If you are confused check with the sun

Carry a compass to help you along

Your feet are going to be on the ground

Your head is there to move you around

So Stand in the place where you live

Now face north

Think about direction

Wonder why you haven't before

Now stand in the place where you work

Now face west

Think about the place where you live

Wonder why you haven't before

Your feet are going to be on the ground

Your head is there to move you around

If wishes were trees the trees would be falling

Listen to reason, season is calling

Stand in the place where you live

Now face north

Think about direction

Wonder why you haven't before

Now stand in the place where you work

Now face west

Think about the place where you live

Wonder why you haven't before

If wishes were trees the trees would be falling

Listen to reason, season is calling

Your feet are going to be on the ground

Your head is there to move you around

So stand (stand)

Now face north

Think about direction, wonder why you haven't before
